Tinside Lido

A beautiful, bracing alfresco dip

Plymouth’s gorgeous Tinside Lido is an elegant, art deco delight. Built in 1936, its semi-circular lines nudge out into the waters of Plymouth Sound, providing a safe, edge-of-the sea swimming experience.

The pool is filled with unheated sea water – so expect a bracing experience. There’s a roped-off shallow end for smaller swimmers and several fountains.

The steps and sundecks that frame the pool offer spectacular views of the sweeping natural harbour beyond.
